[5]

I had listened one podcast:
«Up All Night» at BBC World service, broadcast Saturday 17th April 2010
This podcast was quite clear for me. I listened to it twice, but some phrases in the middle of podcast I had to listened three times for completely understanding, because of he rate of podcast. It was too fast. I must admit that my understanding of speakers now is better than it was before. So, I’m satisfied with my progress. 
Now, some words about the podcast. It was about the latest new facing volcano. The economy is affected by the volcano ash cloud. Disruption caused by the eruption of a volcano in Iceland is costing the industry 200 million dollars. Millions of passengers are still stranded after a huge cloud of ash grounded thousands of flights in the biggest air travel shutdown since World War II.
